the marks 59 was superb john is a brilliant driver for his age at present i crew a type 35 b that is used for sprinting so far our fastest 1/4 mile terminal speed was 134mph on methanol not bad for a car that was built in 1929 that was at brighton this year hope to take the car to france for a blast next year as it needs a decent run to see what it can really do,
the car shown above is a type 51 shown here in chirons racing colours after winning a vscc race at castle donnington
Oh my God, seeing a Bugatti being used in the 1/4 mile parade
No plans to have a go at serious historic racing?
